Love taking our fur babies to run and play at this park. Living in a place where we don't have exercise space this allows our boys to be the playful puppies the should be. I will continue to support the park, visit, and donate to keep this wonderful place going.

I have been going here a couple of times a week for about a month or two. It has helped my dog with her social anxiety. She has made huge improvements with being around other dogs and people. I am grateful Muncie offers this park. Everyone that I have met has been super friendly.

We adopted two kittens from Arf this past weekend and could not have had a better experience. Melissa who works there is amazing. We were driving a bit further from Indy and she stayed after they closed to ensure we could come see the kittens! We came home that day with Suki and Momo and couldn't be happier. The adoption process was easy and we love that our cats are already spayed/neutered and chipped.
